Simon Phipps's personal commentary

Narnia

As Tim points out it's been pretty tough finding space to do much more than attend events this week. Fortunately, there was a good side to tonight's event - I got to go see the new Narnia movie in San Francisco. Not bad - no "Lord of the Rings" but still pretty well calculated, knowing what to leave out while remaining faithful to the book. The animals performed excellently - if only the same could be said for the children. Maybe in the rest of the series they could be animatronics and effects too?

As usual (and to the amazement of friends) I stayed to the end of the titles and thus got to enjoy the commissioned music that backed them. Best of the bunch is the great track Imogen Heap wrote for the movie, Can't Take It In (which I'll not be buying yet as iTMS deviously insists I buy the whole soundtrack album to get it), but there's also a so-so offering from Alanis Morrissette as well.
